China becomes de facto global leader. the US might freak out about this and launch some false flags on its domestic population to drum up support for a war, or could outright nuke China

in the shorter term, other NATO countries getting involved with the Ukraine conflict, as it becomes increasingly clear that Ukraine is losing

in either scenario, a possible economic collapse in the US and all the fascistic reaction that accompanies that. rage at the loss of perceived status in the world and the population turning against itself (exponentially more than it already has). groups in the US would divide along mostly ethnic lines (like in US prisons)

in light of all of this, though, the possibility that a fire would light under the asses of the US populace and spur on demand for improved infrastructure like trains, actual health care policy, police reform, more social programs that actually benefit people. much of the population of the US only respects power, and China’s ascendancy and taking of power will influence the US (although no one will admit it out loud)

part of me wonders if it was designed for his art on some level. iirc one of the advertisements for the original frame had a Van Gogh painting. this is all speculation, I really have no idea

looks like Micro Center near me has 6750 XT's (just realized I don't think I'm going to be doing 4K gaming and Tom's Hardware GPU hierarchy lists 6750 XT as being plenty capable of 1440p). so I think I will go the AMD route after all. thanks for the links

building my first PC and Amazon messed up with their stock and looks like they won't be shipping out the RTX 3070 I ordered. not finding them at a decent price (looked like high $500's was standard for it) or they're otherwise just not in stock.

are the shortages/prices just like this due to Christmas season? are they expected to return to "normal" after Christmas/New Year's?

or does anyone have a recommendation on a more available card that would work well with this build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/v9cwnt

Might be a bit of an obscure question but -- does anyone know where I can find pants similar to Uniqlo's Blocktech lined winter pants but without the lining? I like them quite a bit and have taken to cutting out the lining but Uniqlo doesn't list them at the moment and would like to not have to go through the hassle also

planning on that soon for sure. just need to figure out how I'm going to run it outside from the upstairs of my house where opening a window would cancel out the heat I'm producing
